Plan your custom cabinetry project

Practical questions to ask, details to compare, and real projects to explore before requesting an estimate. Written around the work we build in Trenton for Chattanooga and North Georgia.

• Custom or semi-custom kitchen cabinets: what should you compare?

  A cabinet label does not tell you everything about the kitchen you will receive. Start with the fit, storage, materials, and installation you need, then compare the actual specifications in each proposal.

• Planning an under-stair desk and hidden storage

  The space below a staircase can serve more than one purpose. A comfortable work surface and enclosed storage need different clearances, so plan them together before deciding where the cabinet fronts will go.

• What affects a custom cabinetry estimate?

  A useful cabinet estimate describes what will be built and what is included. A whole kitchen, an island, a vanity, and a fitted desk have different requirements, even when the photographs show similar finishes.
